Roofing help wanted: Tariq's home in Rome
Tariq, a widowed grandmother, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Rome.
🇮🇹 Lazio, Italy915 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Rome. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,000, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the roofing sheets and nails. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for a small crew who can help over two Saturdays.
Experience helps, but it isn't essential - I'll have a licensed roofer supervising for safety. All you need is sturdy shoes, gloves and a willingness to work. I'll provide lunch, water and lots of thanks.
The work will be done on the ground and roof with proper harnesses. If you can only help for a few hours, that's welcome too.
Thanks for being kind about this.

So sorry you're going through this, Tariq. This could happen to any of us.
Stay strong, Tariq. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Sending love. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 16 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings
